An additional airing of the “NCAA On Campus” program took place on ESPN Classic on June 18.   The show will also be streamed online at a later date at ncaa.org.

The two-minute feature is part of a 30-minute monthly program produced by the NCAA for televised and Internet distribution.  The feature was a collaborative effort between Indianapolis based production company DL Images and the Rose-Hulman Institutional Advancement Office.

The feature discusses the history of Rosie, from its founding in the early 1900s through today’s use of the mascot at Rose-Hulman athletic events.  The mascot was formerly a tradition that consisted of the freshman class creating a wooden Rosie for Homecoming.  Throughout its history, the Rosie mascot suit has been filled by a Fightin’ Engineer student.
